I'm not entirely sure of the section out of London, but being a Kent boy I can tell you everything you need to know about the route once you enter God's own garden.
There's a short sharp rise of no more than 300 yards just before you pass Biggin Hill airfield. Once past the road rises very gradually all the way through Biggin Hill before the plunge down Westerham Hill, incidentially written about by Matt Seaton on the very first page of The Escape Artist. It's then lumpy but mostly on a slight downhill through Brasted to Sundridge where you'll chuck a right up New Road. The road to Ide Hill begins with a sharp section but then is a very gentle rise all the way to the top.
See you all there!
